Yes, you have a point Norm, but in the UK it has long been the pratice for many butchers to set aside some bones especially for pets, meat too.

So, customers have long been able to ask for a pound or two of pet meat and/or bones.

The amount of bones that might come in a portion of meat for personal consumption, purchased by a pensioner – such as myself! – or a single person living alone, whose numbers are increasing in the UK, would hardly provide enough bones for a medium-sized dog but I guess might might be enough for a cat!

As for 'pets are human' well we're all mammals, so I guess you have a point there too! Omnia mors aequat!
